The G milite v il le Operatives on a Strike.
For two days past, or pore perhaps,
the operatives of the Graniteviile Facto
ry have been on a strike; not for higher
wages, but to compel the Company to
pay them their wages every two weeks.
The Company have for a long while paid
them but once a month. It is said that
the President is determined to resist the
strikers and adhere to thc monthly pay
ment. Up to last night, Tuesday, the
operatives were still holding out.
Of course we do not know tho views
and motives of the President and Direc
tors, but it seems to us that if the opera
tivas wished it, such a Company could
very well pay them weekly.

Social Barbecue and Tramway Chat
Railroad Meeting on Tuesday Next.
On Saturday last, that obliging and
very skillful caterer, Margret Lowe, pre
pared a barbecue dinner at the Academy
grove, to which many citizens of our
community repaired, for a savory meal
and a social chat. But Mr. T. P. Ash
more, the Engineer, and his assistants,
Dr. R. T. Mmaautd Mr. E. Reese, being
present, the affair" very soon, and vory
naturally, resolved itself into an infor
mal Railroad Meeting. Mr. Ashmore
stated that he was not quite ready to re
port, but announced in very practical
and intelligent style, tho probable cost of
grading the wideband the narrow gauge
Roads. Mr. A. J. Norris, Chairman ol'
the Committee on Survey, Mr. W. W.
Adams, Gov. Bonham, and others, par
ticipated in a general Railroad talk ; and
it was finally decided to hold a Railroad
meeting ia the Court House, on Tuesday
the 19th, at 2. P. M.
The discussions, deliberations and
measures at this Meeting will look ex
clusively tb Che building of a Railroad
from this place, to intersect the C. C. <? A.
?Railroad at the ynost practicable and
available point. All interested in such
an undertaking-and there should be
many-are very earnestly urged to come
forward and take part on Tuesday next.
This Meeting may give us a Railroad,
with all its innumerable blessings and
advantages, in four or five months. The
Abbeville Convention, if at all, can only
promise us these in as many years ! We
aro not poorer in worldly goods than
other people in South Carolina who .have
long ago built such Roads^. What then
is the matter? W?'m hst be poof in spirit
and in ambition. Now, if ever, let usL
shake off this nightmare of dullness and
stagnation !
At th,e Meeting on Tuesday, Mr. Ash
more's Report will be read. And it is
well worth hearing and studying. In
tact it is ?xtr?mely curious, interesting
and encouraging.

Mail Arrangements. .
Our present mail arrangements are de- i
cidedly inconvenient, and ought to be \
changed. As it is now, our Augusta
mail, which reaches Pine House at about <
5 o'clock in the morning, is not delivered 1
there at that hour, for this point, but is j
carried on to Batesville and there thrown
off, to be returned by the up train from ;
Columbia,, which train reaches Pine
House at 12 M-making a delay of scrc?i '
hours in Hie delivery of our mail. We '
arc told that the fault lies solely with the f
Mail Agents on the Railroad, and why j
they should tims neglect their dut}'in ?
this matter weare unable to ascertain; i
but ii' they would make up our mail and 1
deliver it at Pine House at ? o'clock in- *
stead of 12 M., they would greatly ac- v
cotnniodate this community, not only in 1
enabling us to receive our Southern mail
seven hours m advance of the present
schedule, but also enable us to answer j
letters received each day twenty hours
earlier than we can under the present ar
rangement.
If tito Mail Agents do not correct this '
irregularity forthwith, we shall petition 1
the P. O. Department for redress, as this
matter must be remedied.
Our Augusta exchanges will study
their own interests by ventilating thc
above grievances, and assisting us in so- |
curing this much desired seven-hour
change ia the delivery of the mail for
Edgeheld. . '

SAD ACCIDENT IN BABN WELL.-From
the Barnwell Sentinel we regret to.learn
that,- on Wednesday morning last,, after
the return from a deer hunt, James Wise,
the son of Capt. 8. S. Wise, was accident
ally shot and killed by his brother, Joseph
Wise. James Wise had passed into the
yard, Fogler following him, whose horse
refused to go. Wise's brother struck him
with his gun, at half-cock, which went off
and discharged its contents, twelve buck
shot, into his bowels, killing him instantly.
A Personal Rencontre took place in

between Colonel Wm. Johnston, formerly

of the publication by the latter of a card
denouncing the former. Colonel Johnston
was the assailing party. Little or no
blood waa drawn, and the damage done
was small, 8 a the parties were soon sepa
rated. In the melee Mr. McDowell drew
a pistol but did not fire. Court was in
